Electric Bicycles

Electric bicycles, commonly referred to as e-bikes, are bicycles equipped with an electric motor that assists with pedaling. This motor can provide varying levels of assistance, allowing riders to travel longer distances and tackle hilly terrain more easily than with a traditional bicycle. E-bikes typically feature a rechargeable battery that powers the motor, which can be integrated into the frame or mounted on the rear or front of the bike.

There are different classifications of electric bicycles, often based on the level of assistance provided, such as pedal-assist (where the motor engages as the rider pedals) and throttle-based (where the rider can control the motor independently of pedaling). E-bikes can also vary widely in design, including options for commuting, mountain biking, and leisure riding.

Electric bicycles are increasingly popular due to their eco-friendly nature, promoting cycling as a sustainable mode of transport, and their ability to make cycling accessible to a broader range of individuals, including those who may find traditional cycling physically challenging.
